I have been wanting to do the same thing.
I looked at a few options but in the end wrote a small script (called from cron every minute) to grab the image using ffmpeg and then ssh it to my server and ZoneMinder grabs the image from there.
Not ideal but it works as a static image, and seems to be 'easier' than webcamd.
Code:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -t 10 -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -r 30 -i /dev/video0 -f oss -f mp4 $FILEVIDEO
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -ss 9 -f mp4 -i $FILEVIDEO -s 640x480 -vframes 1 -an $FILEIMAGE
ping -c 1 -t 1 $SERVERIP;
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
scp $FILEIMAGE username@$SERVERIP:$REMOTEPATH
fi
Now to have a look at 'motion'....!
